I Am the Light of Science and Technology - Chapter 17

The fact that Li Shuanmin was taken to the capital city by Baizhil really gave her a lot of stimulation.

 Their family does not live well in the village now, they can’t earn work points, and they have so many mouths to feed.

In this situation, the three brothers could not even marry some wives home, so they could only hope that Li Xiangxiang, like Baizhi, would bring them to the capital as soon as possible.

They can also live a good life by leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Li Xiangxiang opened her mouth, and after a while, she said, “Mom… The Gu family is very powerful and has high requirements. I can’t bring you to the capital for the time being…”

Chen Guifang’s face suddenly collapsed.

On the other side, Li Xiangxiang continued: “But after graduating from college and becoming a teacher, I can obtain a house, and then I can bring you to the capital. It is said that if one becomes a teacher in the capital, one can earn 100 yuan a month!”

“So Much?!” Chen Guifang was shocked.

“Yeah, so Mom, just wait for sometime…”

“Well, then we’ll wait, Xiang, you have to hurry up about marrying Gu Xinchen!” Chen Guifang urged.

“Well, I see.” What to hurry! Gu Xinchen can’t protect himself anymore, how can she marry him, she doesn’t even know where he is!

Li Xiangxiang patiently listened to her mother’s chatter inside, and finally squeezed her hands and said –

“Mom…I have something to tell you, you…. Can you send me some money? The capital is too expensive, and I have to tell you…… Xinchen? Ah he loves me a lot… Subsidy? That’s not enough, not enough at all…”

She didn’t dare to go back, how dare she go back and be humiliated?

But she has been expelled from the Normal University. If she wants to stay in the capital, she must ask for money.

She must stay in the capital, she wants to see Li Baizhi’s bad luck, she has to wait for Gu Xinchen to come back!

When her life gets better, and she meets Gu Xinchen, she will bring her parents to the capital…

Therefore, Chen Guifang not only did not know the truth of the situation through the phone, nor did Li Xiangxiang pick them up. Instead, she wanted to go home to raise money and send it to Li Xiangxiang…

***

Just like that four years passed.

In the past four years, many things have happened, the collective disbandment, the household contract, and the whole society is thriving.

Led by the teachers, students and experts of the Academy of Sciences and Jingchen University, in just four years, countless achievements have been made, which has promoted a big step forward in science.

Significant progress had been made in all aspects of transportation, communication, and life, and technological products have yielded fruitful results.

Some aspects have even caught up with and surpassed the United States, while others are still working on it.

But obviously, in such a strong scientific research atmosphere, it is also a matter of time to catch up with the United States.

These experts from the Academy of Sciences, and even the students of Beijing University, as well as students of other schools, appear in the newspapers from time to time because of their inventions or achievements.

One of the names that appeared very frequently was Li Baizhi.

But strangely, her name had gradually disappeared from the newspapers in the past year.

The scientific and technological products that gradually appeared in the Academy of Sciences, and the scientific research process, all dazzled the eyes of the world, so there were not many people who paid attention to the gradually disappearing names.

The newspapers and news did not say who did the research, but only said that it was the Academy of Sciences, without specifying who.

The layman who doesn’t understand it at all didn’t take it to heart, and the half-understander only thinks that this person doesn’t seem to have made any scientific research achievements. But few smart people knew that the reason the name no longer appears in everyone’s sight, was not because there is no fruit, on the contrary, the fruit is too rich, so it is strictly protected!

Li Xiangxiang is obviously a person who does not understand this.

She has lived a very bad life for the past four years, and the life she imagined has never been turned into reality.

After being expelled from Normal University, she thought of many ways but failed to go back to University. She even wanted to take the test again, but for that she had to return to her hometown, which made Li Xiangxiang give up on that.

Moreover, she hasn’t read any book for a long time, and she couldn’t study like she did before, so the probability of her getting readmission is very low.

Fortunately, the times are getting better and better, and she can live in the capital as a foreigner, but her life is still very bad, especially every time she sees Baizhi’s name appearing in the newspaper, she is full of hatred.

The Gu family was also unlucky, and she lost hope about Gu Xinchen coming back to find her and lead a better life with her.

For four years, she waited for Gu Xinchen.

If she hadn’t tried every means to trick her family into sending her money in the past four years, she would not be able to live long ago!

In the past four years, Li Xiangxiang still loved Gu Xinchen and talked with him, but because of his high standards, they broke up soon, and she has been renting a house all the time.

Baizhi’s name gradually disappeared from the newspapers, and she began to have hopes that Baizhi would soon be as miserable as her!

According to the Li family back in village, Li Xiangxiang has successfully “graduated” from Normal University.

A few days ago, the rent went up, and Li Xiangxiang couldn’t pay the rent, so she could only lie to her family by saying that she had already been assigned a job and was working as a teacher in the capital, but in order to get a house, she had to pay first.

Today is the day she goes to get that money.

However, when she got to the post and telecommunications office, she saw Chen Guifang and Mr. Li with a sullen face from a distance.

Li Xiangxiang’s heart tightened.

However, before she could figure out what to do, Chen Guifang had already rushed over and slapped her in the face, and her crying sounded instantly.

Li Xiangxiang cried, and Chen Guifang also cried, crying and scolding, full of hatred.

Her eldest brother, who once doted on her very much, was blind in one eye, beat her hard on the street as if she were an enemy.

They already know!

Chen Guifang’s family has spent all these years trying to make money for Li Xiangxiang. It can be said that they have emptied their family property, and they were not able to eat and wear well. Her third son could not go to the field for work. But the second child who had broken his hand and the elder who is blind, all these years they worked day and night, so that they could send money to Li Xiangxiang, and then later in the future they would be able to live a good life depending on her.

A few days ago, because of Li Xiangxiang’s “Owning of the house”thing, Chen Guifang and Li Dazhu gritted their teeth and sold the family’s land a few days ago, and only then did they collect the money for it.

In the past four years, transportation has become much more convenient, and Chen Guifang and Mr. Li simply came to the capital together.

 ——Their hearts had also raised some doubts over the years, but in the end they were more hopeful.

They couldn’t find Li Xiangxiang, so they first went to Beijing Normal University, and then no matter how they looked, there was no Li Xiangxiang, only to find out later that she was expelled not long after the school started!!

It was also a big deal at the time, so all the students in that class knew about her. Even now the teachers still use her as a negative example to urge students to study hard!

 Like being hit by a bolt from the lightning!

Chen Guifang lost consciousness, at that time, if it wasn’t for the eldest Li brother pinching her, she wouldn’t be able to wake up!

“I beat you to death!”

“Why did you lie to us?!”

“Do you know how difficult it has been for us these years?!”

“I should have strangled you!”

“…I shouldn’t have hurt people for you back then and made us like this…”

Li Daxhu also burst into tears.

Li Xiangxiang was lying on the ground, looking up with a blue nose and a swollen face. At this time, there were several cars driving in front of them, all of which were red flag cars. Obviously, there was a big man inside.

She just lay on the ground and raised her head, just in time to see the car parked outside the department store not far in front, and then a few security guards came down, and a girl with a ponytail got down.

She wears very simple clothes, but from a distance you can see that she was wearing unusual clothes!

And…her face is so familiar!

“Li, Bai, Zhi!”

It was Baizhi who was getting off in the distance!

After getting out of the car, she stretched out her hand to help an old man get down. The old man was also well-dressed. He looked almost the same as four years ago, and even looked younger!

The old man leaned on a good cane, and with a bright smile, he was helped by Baizhi into the building.

Li Xiangxiang saw it, and Chen Guifang saw it too, her eyes darkened and she fell down again.

 Damned!

Her well capable daughter had been deceiving them all these years, and even deceived them into nothing!

And that Li Baizhi, who she thought was definitely not doing well, couldn’t be better off. The old man who was bullied by their family at that time followed his granddaughter and had a good life!

There were several cars in front of the entrance, and people going in were wearing stylish clothes that they have never seen before!

Chen Guifang couldn’t accept it and fainted again.

Chen Guifang and family returned to the countryside again. Chen Guifang had aged ten years older in an instant, and Li Daxhu also stooped.

They brought back Li Xiangxiang.

That day, Li Dazhu’s family made trouble all night, and it is said that they even used a knife, shouting and scolding constantly heard from their house.

There were no secrets kept in the village, so everyone knew the next day—Li Xiangxiang was expelled four years ago and did not go to college at all!

Gosh! It was so shocking that the whole village was buzzing with this gossip for days.

Some people also said –

“Hey, I already knew there was something tricky here. Last year, my nephew went to Beijing’s specialist department. When he came back for the new year, he said that he couldn’t find Li Xiangxiang when he inquired in Beijing’s Normal University. No one knew her!”

“Really?” Immediately, someone surrounded her.

“Yeah, at the time, I thought there was something tricky about it. Which college student wants so much money from home? Once Chen Guifang said that their daughter had some powerful fiancé, but why did he never send money to Li Xiangxiang? I know not all college students are as powerful as Baizhi, but they get a subsidy. Hence, there is no need for their families to make money all the time!”

 “Yes, yes.”

“So at that time when he said that he couldn’t find Li Xiangxiang, I knew there was a problem! He didn’t find Baizhi, but Baizhi was too busy. Busy contributing to the country and was the idol of the entire Jingcheng university’s students! Jingcheng university students all of them know Baizhi as their senior sister, yet how come no one had mentioned Li Xiangxiang?”

“Tsk tsk, it’s too bold, this Li Dazhu’s family raised Li Xiangxiang, they are too unlucky.”

“I think it’s retribution. How did their family treat Uncle Shuanmin’s family back then? They occupied the house and burned the admission ticket of Baizhi. If it wasn’t for Baizhi’s greatness, who knows what would have happened…”

“It’s retribution. Brother’s bad luck started!”

“They deserved it!”
